Solarbotics has teamed up with Oomlout to produce their clever Arduino Experimenter's Kit here in North America.

This open-source project features 12 experiments that are step-by-step simple, and with a full-colour template overlay for your breadboard, you're unlikely to go wrong. We've combed through the documentation to make it as clear and concise as we can, and have re-posted it back up to the archive at http://www.ardx.org (ain't open-source cooperation great?).

We've selected hardware for our version of the kit that easily meets or exceeds the requirements of the Experimenter's Kit. Of particular note are:

12 colour breadboard template overlay sheets. These make identifying the right place for each connection very simple.

It's a great way to get started with Arduino. With a laptop (with Internet to download code samples) and this bundle, you really can just sit down and get right to work! You can find the code for the circuits under our resources tab. The code is Arduino 1.0 tested and found compatible.
